Farm and Ranch Notes.

No cattle have died in Jackson
count this winter.
Dat sowing is being pushed all over
the State and the erca will be larger
than ever before.
LESS cotton and more cereals will
be the motto of many farmers during
the coming season.
There are twenty lodges of the
Farmers Alliance in Lampasas county
with membership of 600.
The pastures of Messrs, George,
Hord and Hancock, west of Mex!a,
burned off one day last week, loss of
grass being respectively 300 and 400
acres.
San Saba county reports 1908 per-
sons in her limits destitute, and that
II will take $s476 to buy bread alone
for their relief. The grain crop aver
aged but about one and half bushels
to the acre last year.
The west has been visited with rains
at last, although not sufficient for stock
water. Plenty has fallen to start the
grass and small grain TO growing.
Since the rain every one seems to be
hopeful OF good crops.
The manner OF putting out fires,
adopted by the stockmen in the Pan
handle, appears curious TO the parties
unacqusinted with the business. The
cowboys had to STAY yearlings to use
as drag. TO cxtinguish the flames that
threatened to destroy their range.

Capital Notes.

AUSTIN, Feb. 23.-The board OF edu-
cation consists of the governor, comp
troller and secretary of state. A ma
jority is q quorum. Such quorum,
consisting of the governor and secre-
tary of state, met to-day and adopted
a resolution about as follows:
Resolved, That the permanent
school fund should be invested as the
law directs.
Ordinarily the comptroller has in
vested the school fund in county bonds
when offered at par, without the for
nlality of submitting the proposition
to the board This was the practice Of
the old board, but it is slightly at va
rance with what the law directs, hence
doubtless the resolution.
The Willis investigating committee
has not been able to reach unani-
nous verdict. There are two propo-
sitions. The majority have considered
one to present articles of impeach-
ment and the other to submit reso-
luton to address the Judge out of
office. This evening it is understood
three of the committee of five have
agreed to an address. One member
considers the Judge has not been
proven guilty of any unworthy act,
and with another member who is
said to be in doubt, may be expected
10 submit minority report.
The January report Of the supcrin-
tendcnt of peniientiaries is just out.
1t shows that during that month there
was not single escape, and the NOR
tally was very light. 1t was the best
showing that has been made for n
long time. There were on Dec. 81
1926 convicte. During the month 81
were received, AZ discharged, Is par
doned, Z died and was delivered to
sheriff to be tried for another offense.
OF this number 1179 are on farms, rs
OH railroads, 9s7 in the rock quarries,
592 mt Rusk and 80 at Huntsville.
The house subcommittee perfected
its crazy quilt, land and lease bill to-
night. If the house adopts it, the two
houses will be so wide apart that as
at previous sessions, miserable mop
erativc committee substitute will be
forced upon the governor. 1t is likely
that finctionary will finally have TO
elect between the old land act and an
other quite as obnoxious.

Persian BARRIERS.

In Persia the barber shaves the heads
his customers, dyes their boards,
pulls their teeth, cups and bleeds them
when ailing, sets their broken bones
and shampoos their bodies. Dr. Wills,
an English physician who resided in
Persia for many years, being attached
to the overland telegraph, was invited
by Hassan, his barber, to visit his shop
and see him at work. He went, against
the remonstrances of his servant Malek,
who insisted the barber would say that
the English physician had called to
learn of him how to practice surgery
and medicine.
The shop was little square room,
with one side open TO the street In the
center vas tiny bed of flowers sunk in
the floor, from the middle of which rose
an octagonal stone column a yard high.
The capital of the column formed re-
ceptacle for the water In which the bar

From the BARRIERS grille hung a
round copper water-bottle, his strap. and
pouch to mold his instruments. In
his bosom was a small mirror, the pre-
sentation OF which to his customer is a
sign that the job is finished, and that
the barber waits for his pay.
Customers came to submit their heads
to the BARRIERS hands, and to have their
parLizsd arms shampooed. When
served, hey remained to smoke and
gossip.

"The balance OF power is said TO be in

this is not SO. The real balance OF
power is held by few corrupt men,
who are using it for all it is worth

sides at once, and when the fountains
run dry and these men have at last 10

the contest will be over in short order.

REFoRMAToRY for youthful

a REFoRMAToRY for youthful
offenders is one of the needs of
this state, and one which the Her
aid hopes will be supplied by the
passage of the present bill, which
has so far been favorably consid-
cred by the legislature. Such an
institution would be to the erring
youth what an orphan asylum is
to children thrown out on the
world without the good influence
of their natural protectors. A re-
formatory would check many a
youth in his hayward career, and
make an honest mechanic and
thrifty citizen, where otherwise as
ISOLATION with hardened criminals
would allure him on in his grow
ing taste for sin and desperation.
Give Texas the reformatory and it
will be the means of saving many
hayward and runaway boy.
THE HERALD prints telegram
from. Berlin to-day announcing
largevictories for the socialists in
the German elections yesterday.
The campaign was. very exciting
one, and Prince Bismark and 9TH
er prominent imperialists were
alarmed. The socialist in Germa-
ny is not like the socialist of this
country, who would have equal So
cial and property rights-the term
being used in two different senses.
In Germany the socialists want
Republican form of gov
emmett relief from the tyra-
ny of the strong one-man govern
ment, and if they have succeeded
in electing majority of the Riech-
stag (their national congress) there
is likely to be trouble for the EN-
peror's household, and probably a
government of the people estab-
lished. >"
The Sherman Register remarks
that:
If Or ,hibition In Texas Ia 10 be the
sense es, farce it is in Kansas, then
keep it out. ..s '
Prohibition would be a senseless
farce anywhere the people elected
officer,. who ignored it's provisions;
but certainly not SO in Kansas, or
would il be in Texas. The law is
observed in Kansas about as much
as any other law. Because MUIR
der anderson are frequently com
mitted, is not good reason for
the repeal of the laws which would
prohibit such crimes. If p:ohi-
yition becomes AN issue" the
coming summer, it will no doubt
be freely and it is hoped fairly dis
cussed.
LIEUT.. GREELY, who has been
employed in the signal office at
Washington, has been appointed
to the position of chief signal Off

there is good grounds for Cleve-

Graham, who has been principal of the
Boys High School during the past two
years and who has just entered upon the

charged IN August last by two of his
subordinate lady teachers, Miss Hare

non- maintenance of discipline The

Others which add the word immortality

The evidence adduced, viewed with

which indicate that he is scarcely the
